    I need something new to put on my salad..I usually use Newmans Lite Honey Dijon...but im sooo tired of it..Any ideas? ;)

    Marie's full-fat "Super Blue" bleu cheese. Because dietary fat is not the enemy unless you are eating too much of it.

    Maple Grove Farms has some amazing dressings that are very low calorie. The basil lime is very good, as is the balsamic.

    I make my own - creamy mustard dressing - 1/4 c apple cider vinegar, 1/4 c olive oil and 1/4 c dijon mustard with some splenda thrown in...for sweetness. Delicious.

    I mix balsamic vinegar, olive oil, and honey. Not nearly as delicious as Ken's Honey Balsamic, but 10000x better for me :D

    I like Aldi's Fit and Active Zesty Italian Fat Free dressing. Typically, I don't use "fat free" items because of possible higher grams of sugar but this one has only 15 cals per serving and 2g of sugar!

    Ken's Light Honey Mustard (can use this w/chicken or on a sandwich instead of mayo) or Ken's Light Sweet Vidalia Onion. Both are yummy. I switch back and forth as I too get tired of one after a while.

    The Italian that you mix yourself. comes with its own container that tells how much oil/vinnegar/water to mix. I swap the vinnegar and oil for more vinnegar, less oil. Healthier and tastes great!

    I do the same thing. I use red wine vinegar and olive oil...soo yummy!

    I've read in a health magazine, that using regular dressings as opposed to lights, you get more of the health benefits from the salad.. not entirely sure whiy, just what I read.

    I have tried so many salad dressings and do not enjoy/cannot stomach any of them. I have found I actually enjoy my salad with some chopped ham & turkey lunchmeat, no dressing, no cheese. The Kraft asiago parmesan dressing tasted like stomach acid in my mouth, it was horrible in my opinion. The only dressing I like is the dressing I put on broccoli salad (no mayo used in my recipe), but even that I don't want on my salad more than twice. If I liked salsa that might be another route, but I don't. Fact is, I just really don't like anything "dripping" off my lettuce unless it's water from washing it.

    I use one tablespoon of pesto thinned with balsamic vinegar. It tastes great! I do want to have some healthy fats on my salad to make sure that I'm absorbing the fat-soluble nutrients that my salads are packed with. Cutting out all fat does cut calories, but you're also missing out on the nutrients. Just make sure to measure your fats and so you can keep things in a reasonable portion.

    Hope this helps!

    Kraft Aged Balsamic or make your own with some Olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and add some italian seasoning blend, or thyme, and some lemon juice or squeeze a fresh lemon in. Really satisfying.

    I use a little bit of olive oil and then lime juice! YUM!!! My favorite salad is baby spinach leaves, tomatos, feta cheese, and a hand full of almonds. Salt and pepper, oil and lime juice and its the best tasting salad ever! :)

    I use Hummus, you can thin it out with lemon juice or leave it alone. I also use an Organic Raspberry Vinaigrette from Costco (60 Cal. per 2 TBSP.)
